Saw a dancing young lady who worked in the bar

A dozen known rangers don't know who they are

The waitress was spinning, my head was a jar

And I should have been home with you

Saw a reeling old drunk man dancing around

Thought his grey whiskers still must've been brown

Ida Lopino wouldn't keep her dress down

And I should have been home with you

Band rock 'n' rolled, but it wasn't the best

Nearly all of 'em all sound like the rest

Some girls looked pretty, but you were the best

That's why I came home with you

Got home about daylight, I'd been gone too long

Woke up at 11 and I saw you were gone

So I drank lots of coffee, and I wrote you this song

I wish I had been home with you

I wish I had been home with you

I wish I had been home with you
